I never showed you the feedsacks and the quilts!

As i was folding and finding a place for all my new vintage quilts i realized i never showed a picture. Here is the stack of feedsacks (and a tablecloth and miscellaneous linens) i found.... (and for those who didn't know what feedsacks were when i meantioned them...look here for a little history. I love the history of them as well as the sweet prints...all of the quilts here in these pictures except the bottom pick are feedsack quilts...feedsacks become insanely soft after washing and washing).

some a little closer up...

and a stack of aired out quilts. They are as cutty as cutters get but i love them all so much and can't wait to breathe new life into them.

I also got some beautiful tins. I seem to have a thing for tins lately. It's a good thing they are handy to have around because i keep running into insanely pretty ones...

This set of scores has kept me in the nest for over two weeks. Now with the vintage swap going on, i must get out on the hunt once again. Good thing the huge rummage sale is this weekend.

About Me

These writings are the footprints of my journey. A convert Muslim hippie chick and free spirit. I love laughter, knitting, quilting, crafting, reading, writing and family life.
Why I call myself wayfarer:
The path of Islam contains a most comprehensive and total system of conduct for the wayfarer. The outer behavior of a true Muslim reflects what is deep in his inner consciousness.As creation is based on unity, Tawhid as it is called in Arabic, every aspect of human experience reflects an aspect of unity. The Muslim is he who has submitted and surrendered in peace and knowledge to this wholesome and naturally balanced ecology... (from the book "Lantern of the Path".
